Quite a number of our citizens at
tended the big picnic last Friday. All

addressed to Citizen^ of Oclilucuuee.
notifying them that then; was a *'be
fore day Club” in the town ana that
certain of tho Colored ptu^.u ol the
town wore leaders. There wos’i.t much
excitement over it as we think khi.o fel
low wanted to stir up a little excitement.
We think that the colored people of our
town think too much of themselves and
are better citizens, law-abiding citizens
than to have such a thing as a “Before
day club.”

of her mother, Mrs. Walker at Cairo,
